Event Navigation

If you missed us at City Winery, head down to the boro because we are back at Jazzmatazz!

Come out for some great New Orleans cuisine and have some fun with us!

Jazz and classic pop and some new versions of some American Songbook Classics! Joining us will be Cole Burgess on Sax and Larry Crew on Bass for our regular bass player David Spicher.

Much like the classic songs from the “Great American Songbook”, They perform “The New American Songbook”. It’s comprised of the best of classic pop songs from the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. They cover popular music of great artists and composers like Carole King, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Blondie, The Everly Brothers, Stevie Wonder, Hall and Oats, The Captain and Tenille and Pat Benatar. They have arranged these songs with exciting and new jazz arrangements, but the audience will know every song! DejaNu will take you on a trip down memory lane. Jazz with a twist!

Although DejaNu is a fairly new group, the members are not.
